No, Hurricane Kirk was not projected to hit North Carolina.
Hurricane Kirk's Trajectory
Major Hurricane Kirk was forecast to not impact the United States at all. Instead, its projected path indicated it was heading eastward across the Atlantic, with its primary trajectory set towards Europe. This meant the U.S. coastline, including North Carolina, was outside of its direct threat zone.
What This Meant for North Carolina
Given its projected path, residents and authorities in North Carolina did not need to prepare for any direct impact or severe weather conditions from Hurricane Kirk. The storm remained a distant concern for the U.S. mainland.
While Hurricane Kirk did not pose a threat to the United States, staying informed about hurricane activity and preparing for the hurricane season is always crucial for coastal regions like North Carolina.
